Concerned for public safety and acting responsibly, they immediately alerted police, who wasted no time in launching what they treated as a potential homicide investigation. With no crime having been committed, police formally closed the homicide investigation, bringing what had been an intense inquiry to an anticlimactic but relieving conclusion. The discovery was made during a routine Sunday drive by two members of the public. Police launched a full homicide investigation based on the initial report. Subsequent examination confirmed the contents of the suitcase were a lifelike doll.
